A. The vendor is liable for the payment of the proceeds of sports and recreation facility fees that the vendor failed to remit to the village. Failure of the vendor to collect the fee is not cause for the village to forgive sports and recreation facility fees due and owed by the vendor. A civil penalty is imposed for each occurrence of failure to remit sports and recreation facility fees in an amount equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) of the amount that was not duly remitted to the village or one hundred dollars ($100.00).
B. The village may bring an action in the district court of the judicial district in which the village is located for collection of amounts due, including, without limitation, penalties on the amounts due on the unpaid principal at a rate not exceeding one percent (1%) per month, the costs of collection and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the court action to collect the unpaid sports and recreation facility fees.
